72 hour urban action: 10 missions for Stuttgart

I haven’t been in Stuttgart since 12 years. Last time my parents took me to a Hugo Boss outlet in the neighbourhood, because my dad wanted to buy a suit. This time I am here for a mission together with 11 designers, architects, engineers and action-loving people from all other the world. The event is called 72 Hour Urban Action and is the 2nd edition of the architecture competition that took first time place in Israel in 2010. Watch the video from Bat-Yam, Israel here. Once the video of this year’s edition is done, I put it online. For now check some shoots of what is happening in Stuttgart North.

‘How to work better’, a manifesto written by one of the other teams. Despite these ten rules, it didn’t work for the team, said one of the girls. In a team of twelve people it’s tough to come to an agreement. It’s a challenge and a good experience.
